Hi Marcin, I wonder if you can replace it, because the API is completely different. You would need to modify the original Image viewer and music player apps.
Using the new tracker just as an indexer (what Tracker 0.6 was), will give you the same functionality with faster queries, much better API (cursors!), easier support for extra formats and probably faster file system crawling. Also Tracker 0.6 is few years old and nobody has taken care of that code, while the new Tracker is still under (soft) development and bugs are handled. Finally, if you are interested in the new features, Tracker > 0.7 can store more types of information: contacts, messages (IM, SMS, email), RSS, documents, music, pictures, videos.... and the information can be interconnected (you can link a message/video/picture with the contact who send it, appears in it... ). In Tracker 0.6 the information could come only from the file system but after 0.7 Items can be created freely in the database, so there can be processes (we call them miners) bringing information from different sources (e.g. flickrs) to Tracker. The original idea behind the new tracker was to enable mashups... sadly we couldn't go too far with it *sigh* Hope this helps, Ivan On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 6:19 PM, Marcin Mielniczuk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm about to propose upgrading tracker in Maemo Fremantle.
